A cfd validation challenge for transonic, shock-induced separated flow: Approach and metrics

A blind CFD validation challenge is being organized for the unsteady transonic shock motion induced by the Sandia Axisymmetric Transonic Hump, which echoes the Bachalo-Johnson configuration. The wind tunnel and model geometry will be released at the start of the validation challenge along with flow boundary conditions. Primary data concerning the unsteady separation region will be released at the conclusion of the challenge after computational entrants have been submitted. This paper details the organization of the challenge, its schedule, and the metrics of comparison by which the models will be assessed.
